This stuff def makes you wonder why they continue to cut so many corners visually. Is the city/neighborhood really that taxing on the hardware?

Whatever it may be, some clarity would be a nice touch at some point. Though I know that probably wouldn't make a difference to may folks who are going to be upset regardless.

Could there be something in programming preventing them from having two different types of jerseys (tight and baggy)? Could it be a challenge of getting physics that function differently for baggy jerseys vs the tight jerseys? Could it even possibly be a license things based on who was making the baggy NBA jerseys at the time? Perhaps 2k doesn't have access and permission to scan/replicate those jerseys. Or maybe it's simply something that 2k doesn't think is worth the time and resources.

The answer is definitively 'no' to everything in your first paragraph, and we of course know that the actual devs are more than capable, which leaves only the "2K doesn't think it's important enough" explanation.

DaCzar seems to do a nice job of that when it comes to gameplay elements but it'd be cool if someone out there could just be like, "Hey yeah, you guys obviously noticed 81's missing. We tried, but we just couldn't get more than four or five players from that Raptors team to come aboard." There's still time for that clarity to come through though.

EXACTLY THIS!!

This all we want. We dont need documents of you guys trying to get licenses, but just some "Yeah, we know 81 missing, we obviously wanted to add but it didnt work out due to licensing issues"

Simple, or just say to us "Hey guys, we see you. It just didnt get through the red tape"

So now you have beef with EA and 2k? I'm guessing SDS is next on your hit list huh lol.

This is the most frustrating thing. Knowing that the devs are capable of fixing these issues. Those guys are extremely talented. It’s just a matter of priority and a lack of attention to detail. The fact we’re finally getting accurate theater lighting for Staples, after ALL these years, is crazy.

I don’t necessarily blame them entirely. I know it’s only so much that they’re allowed to do. Especially in a one year cycle.

Yeah Czar already confirmed that Pro Play only applies to current players which is disappointing. Hopefully they expand it to historic players going forward because the difference in fluidity was definitely noticeable in this trailer compared to the 1st one we got..

I didn’t read the whole thread so far, and I swear I’m not a nitpicky player… BUT THESE TIGHT JERSEYS REALLY AINT IT MAN
